Burn
Sauntering unsteadily
Outstretched arm
Ready to grasp
To catch a fall
His world
The streets
Litter, cans
Small change
And cigarette butts
Pain unknown
Long forgotten
Drowned
Years of nothing
A meager existence
Disappearing
He is no longer
Of this reality
Outstretched arm
Ready to grasp
To catch a fall
His world
The streets
Litter, cans
Small change
And cigarette butts
Pain unknown
Long forgotten
Drowned
Years of nothing
A meager existence
Disappearing
He is no longer
Of this reality

he bloody well isn't, is he?
